WHERE TO FROM HERE
Hi. I am 10 months post thyroidectomy. I am well and am on 180ndt a day as a single dose. My GP is telling me he is concerned about such a high dose and feels I am using the NDT as a stimulant to live my active lifestyle. My GP has told me he is worried about me and the 180ndt is as addictive as nicotine

NDT Armour dosing
I’m 2.5 months into Armour treatment, now adjusting to 1/2 grain at 6am and 1/4 grain an hour after lunch. Insomnia is one of my worse symptoms, I take 20mg of amitriptyline which has worked well for the last year, I sleep 12-7am. Since the latest Armour dose increase my insomnia has worsened and I

More drug news
I seem to have posted quite a lot about my experiences with drugs recently. I seem to be on a downward spiral and a learning curve at the same time - but not getting much relief from drugs for one reason or another. My last post was about Propranolol and I posted here because I was concerned about

Awful test results! What dosage increase should I make?
Hello everyone, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place at the minute and I don't really know what to do for the best. Hence, I am looking for some help and advice. Reason for my demise, amongst other things, is the following test results which was done via Medichecks. Levo dosage was 50mcg levo on

Former patients of the late Dr Gordon Skinner
This post has two purposes. First, so that everyone knows about the research itself. Second, so that anyone who does feel strongly can make use of the opt-out. While hoping that few, if any, use this opt-out, it is nonetheless right and proper that each and every former patient knows of this opt-out

Thyroid medication update
So presently taking 60 NDT and 25 t4 synthroid. I couldn't tolerate 90 ndt so my doctor gave me 25 t4 as a slower release and doesn't hit as hard as ndt. So it seems this addition of t4 has helped me. My sleep is better, my eyebrows filling in more, the few pounds I was holding onto seem to have dropped

T4 over range yet again due to side effect of Amiodarone. I have no thyroid, am on 25mcg levo daily now. In a dilemma
Hi all I am aware that most people on this site will have little knowledge about the drug Amiodarone so here is a brief account of what it is used for and it's potential side effects that can alter conversion of thyroid medication such as levo or NDT so pushing levels either up or down. It can also effect

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies/Thyroid dysfunction.. Chicken or Egg?
Before I spend my hard earned money on going to a private ENDO because the NHS is failing me I wanted to ask what you all thought about the problem of iron deficiency and vitamin D deficiency and how this relates to underactive thyroid . I read a lot here about how these vitamins should be optimal for

The good doctor
I had a GP appointment this morning (double appointment) for a Medication Review. I haven’t had one since pre-Covid when I lived in a different part of the country. I crept into the surgery with fear in my heart as I prepared to explain the ins and outs of NDT. OH came with me as I was in the middle

Amiriodone & NDT update
So I was put on Amiodarone post heart surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago. I thought it was a three week course but it's not. Now on 200mg per day for the next few months . And yes I think it's messing my thyroid hormones up. I did protest over taking it...due to its high iodine content and contrary indications.

Dr Georgina Conway or any other recommendations?
Dear Friends, Please could anyone PM me any thoughts on Georgina Conway or any other good options for a sympathetic endocrinologist. I have given up with the NHS and want to try T3 or NDT if it is deemed appropriate. If it were possible to find someone who would treat me initially privately and then

please can someone advise?
I’ve posted here a few times of late, been feeling rough and exhausted since switching from Levo to Erfa 5 weeks ago. I’ve emailed the private doctor to get some advice as to whether the dose is correct she put me on. She’s said my question re doseage isn’t easy to answer and also she charges £20 for
